I wonder what the earliest division clinch ever is?

Hehe, 10 is encouraging in baseball, but hardly "striking distance" in football...in my opinion, of course.

I just found it funny.
Truth is we would probably win the division at 8-8 as long as we win most of the division games.

Andy -weren't you the one arguing against over-confidence in the other thread?!

4 weeks into the season, it's impossible to know just how good the Patriots are. But it does seem possible to say this: most of the league looks like crap, and our division leads that parade.

Hey, I've got one for you!

Question: What's the AFCE definition of "parity"?
Answer: Only one game separates the #2 through 4 teams!

Wait a minute...isn't it 11 until the season series vs. NYJ and Buffalo are over? Pats could still go 1-1 head-to-head with them...

No. I have been vocally confident, and arguing against the 'fans need to take it one game at a time' crowd.

I'm locked in to an undefeated season, until we lose,then I will lock in to homefield advantage, then I will lock in the SB Championship. The last is the only one that matters, but the season is a lot more fun with hopes of being the best ever.
